ThermoDock which is an infrared device that plugs into your iPhone and when it is pointed at your forehead or anything at all for that matters, it takes a reading of the temperature. This intriguing medical device means the end for rectal thermometers and that would probably spell happiness for many people. Another good thing about the device is that the object that you wish to scan and the device do not have to make contact.

Rest assured with the Dr ThermoDock around, you will never have to worry about getting an accurate result when it comes to temperature again.
